Ask Linda Fargo, the director of women’s fashion at Bergdorf Goodman, about her closet at home and she’ll tell you it’s a sore subject. “I’ve been planning to rebuild my apartment for ages, and instead every year I add another rolling rack,” she explains. “One day there will be drawers and dividers and the ideal spot for everything.”

But until that happens, she’s treating Linda’s—a highly curated shop that opens on the New York department store’s fourth floor in May—as her dream closet. Refreshed throughout the year, it will offer the kinds of exclusive pieces and fantastical sartorial gems that have made Fargo one of New York’s perennially best-dressed women.

There will be home-decor items and “the best chocolate you’ve ever tasted,” but among the things that excite her most are Lisa Eisner’s hand-hewn jewelry (“I die for her tropical feather cuff ”) and Patricia Field’s repurposed clothing (“they’re hand-painted and reworked by her posse of artists”). Each piece has a story, and while Fargo may not be able to claim them all for herself, “the next best thing,” she says, “is to be surrounded by the things that make your heart dance a bit faster.”
